I often ask that question. Part of the World hates US, and wants to see the demise of America. And, part of the World looks to US for help. That is why America has become the most powerful country in the World. What is done with that power, at this point, is yet to be seen. God bless America.

So you think that if NK threatens *any* country, we are obligated to nuke them? Since when is the whole world our problem? Especially since Trump has said specifically the opposite? Or are you being geographically challenged and don't realize Japan is a sovereign nation and not our territory?

But wouldn't it be something if the little fat kid was the catalyst for WWIII?

You need to brush up on your history. As part of the agreements at the end of WWII japan was forbidden to stand up a true military. As a result they depend on the US to provide for their defenses. That's one of the reasons we have our forces stationed there.
So firing a missile over a country we have agreed to protect is what happened. That sounds like a threat to me

You do realized that the US also have to take in consideration where our 2 close Allies (South Korea and Japan) stand, right. Any retaliatory attack by the US would draw those 2 countries into the fray as well.

Shouldn't we think about that BEFORE our president makes ridiculous threats of fire and fury?
